Controlling Yaw - Rudder Coordination

In this very special Hangar Talk, Jim Alsip Master CFI-Emeritus shares a Key Points Instructional Video. Jim’s ground instruction is enhanced with video from the airplane that demonstrates and explains the three types of yaw and how to control yaw. This is a great flight lesson for any pilot, student of experienced. In this video, Jim develops a Key Point: Instead of the confusing, and mostly misunderstood term “coordinate”, the skill is better taught when simply stated to “recognize and control yaw”.

This video is one in a series of Hangar Talks that share with you some of the key points developed in Jim’s books Flying the Tailwheel Airplane, Artistry of the Great Flyer and A Pilot’s Guide to Airmanship and Aerodynamics. They can be purchased at Amazon.com.
